Understanding Flooring Types and Their Construction Layers
All floor types are different, with a variety of materials and layering that makes each construction unique. Choosing the perfect flooring for your space is an important decision that can depend on a range of factors such as where it'll be, who will be using it, and how much foot traffic it will get.
Souden's expert flooring installers understand this, and our team is here to help you understand the construction behind your floor, so you can make the best choice for your home
Carpet Layers
Carpet is soft, warm, and comfortable underfoot, made from woven fibres and available in a range of styles, textures, and colours. The layered construction includes piled fibres - either cut (sheared, upright fibres for a softer feel) or looped (intact and firmer) - along with a primary backing, latex binder, and secondary backing for added strength, stability, and durability. Perfect during Canberra winter for a cozy feel in family living rooms and bedrooms.
Timber Flooring Layers
Engineered timber flooring offers the beauty of real hardwood, at a more affordable price. It features a thin timber layer bonded over a durable plywood core. It also includes a protective top layer, and a backing layer to enhance durability and stability. It brings elegance and natural beauty to a space, perfect for your dining room, hallways, and entrances.
Hybrid Flooring Layers

Its layered construction includes a protective top coating, decorative layer, rigid core with an integrated click-lock systems for easy installation, and a backing layer for added stability and durability.
